Today my cousin, Chris Butaud, and his family were in for the holidays. They flew in last night from a very snowy Seattle. We hadn't seen them in very long time. So we gathered up a few more cousins and had a great little lunch visit! I can remember when we were little kids and we would all gather at my grandma's house and how loud and chaotic the holiday would be, all the babies and all the commotion, but we had so much fun! So now we start creating new traditions and memories for each of our own families. It's hard to let go of the old traditions, but as each year passes time presents new situations and events that create our new precious moments. And so the cycle starts anew! The old memories are sweet and so will the new ones be!

Hi Madelene. I found you blog and was instantly drawn to it without even reading it. I have only read bits and pieces of it, but I can say with certainty that I love your attitude!
I was diagnosed with Stage II Rectal Cancer in March of 2007. I am currently cancer-free after following a natural treatment for 10 months, then chemo & radiation, followed by surgery and currently a 12 treatment chemo regimen scheduled to complete in March.
I began blogging about my experience shortly after it started and it has been deeply therapeutic. Have a look if you like:

Like you, I realized my cancer diagnosis was a gift. My prayers were with hope that the gift included longevity. I believe that gift was granted as well.
God Bless You and stay strong.
